We think you'll find these very appeeling.

Hands down, bananas are the best. Aside from being the perfect sweet snack, they're low GI (meaning they keep you full for longer) and are bursting with essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, folate and fibre.

But when you've got 10 ripe bananas sitting in your fruit bowl (and you're sick of having them plain), it can be a bit daunting to know what to do with them.

Instead of throwing them out or making yet another banana bread, you seriously need to try making these easy banana recipes.

From two-ingredient banana ice cream and no bake banoffee pie, to a banana smoothie bowl and grilled banana, these recipes are the answer to your languishing bananas.

Bana-ppetit (sorrynotsorry).

2. Banoffee pie

Banoffee pie is a household favourite and this no bake recipe makes it a quick and easy treat. If you're making it ahead of time, toss the bananas in a small amount of lemon juice.

Makes eight servings.

INGREDIENTS

23cm diameter spring form cake tin

1 x 250g packet of Granita or Marie biscuits

125g butter, melted

1 x 495g tin sweetened condensed milk

50g or 2½ tablespoons of butter, cubed

3 tablespoons or 60g golden syrup

4-5 bananas

400ml cream, whipped

50g dark chocolate, grated

METHOD

1. Crush the biscuits in a food processor until you have fine crumbs, then add the melted butter. Process again to combine. The crumbs should stick together when squeezed.

2. Press into the spring form cake tin halfway up the sides. Refrigerate while you make the filling.

3. Place the cubed butter and the golden syrup into a saucepan and heat, stirring until melted.

4. Add the tin of condensed milk and stir on medium heat for approximately 5-8 minutes until the mixture bubbles, thickens and starts to change colour.

5. Remove from the heat and cool for a couple of minutes before pouring into the chilled crumb crust.

6. Refrigerate until cold and firm. The pie can be made up to this point and finished when you are ready.

7. Slice three bananas and mix them with the whipped cream.

8. Pour into the tart shell on top of the chilled caramel and smooth down to a nice flat surface.

9. Sprinkle chocolate shavings onto the top of the tart and then decorate with the final sliced banana.
